The epistolary genre has become especially popular with the development of Internet technologies. Increasingly, people are writing letters or even short text messages to addressees they would never have met in real life. But not everyone knows that any letter, business or romantic, should consist of three parts: the introductory part, the main part and the ending.
Instructions
Step 1
After the greeting, you should introduce yourself and explain the reason why the addressee writes to a stranger - the addressee. Perhaps the main rule is to save someone else's time. Phrases need to be formulated succinctly, clearly, concisely. Don't overdo it with punctuation, emoticons and slang. If literacy is lame, then it is worth writing in simple sentences, without the locomotive of adverbial turns after the first comma. It is better to choose neutral greetings: "Good afternoon", "Hello".
Step 2
The next paragraph is the main part of the letter, where the author explains his interest in more detail, asks questions, explains in detail the essence of the problem. If this is a business letter, then it would be appropriate to refer to two or three mutual acquaintances or people who are respected so that the recipient can verify the information provided. If this is a purely personal and delicate letter (for example, the addressee is a potential relative, classmate, or person whose help is needed), then it is worth speaking out the emotions of the interlocutor. For example: "I understand that you might be surprised to receive this letter" or "I hope you are not upset, but the situation is …"
Step 3
The third paragraph is an expression of gratitude and general phrases like: "Thank you for paying attention and reading this letter to the end" and "I hope for productive cooperation." A polite "tail": "Sincerely" or "All the best" is acceptable, but it would be better if it was a personal signature, and not a template crammed into the mail program. A business person leaves after his signature his contacts: the company's website, reception phone numbers. Private correspondence means a link to a phone or a blog - any personal resource that will help you navigate the subject line.
